One more point Nicole, How come Mayor Fred Eisenberger doesn't have a "C" on his jersey. As Mayor he's the Captain of the hockey team. Great job at the Rally by Eisenberger by the way. When people look back in the history books and see who was Mayor of Hamilton when the city finally got it's NHL hockey team they may find the name Eisenberger listed in the history books. What a way to increase your popularity if you decide to run for Mayor again in 18 months from now. :)

I do not mean to upset all those hockey fans out there but really how is it that people are starving in the streets, being denied food at the foodbanks, there are no jobs yet we have money to pay for hockey shirts? How many of those, the low income will be able to afford to go to a game?

Oh I forgot, it is only about those who can afford, the rest, well they are the forgotten ones.
